Hi,
when i am trying to create 2 node vsan using the CreateHA_2.ps1 PowerShell script i am getting error message:

"control HAImage -GetDefaults:"" -deviceSectorSizeBytes:"512"
-
101 Failed: operation cannot be completed..

i have configured "$sectorSize=512" but without any success

Thanks

Please make sure you are using the script right. See https://forums.starwindsoftware.com/vie ... p+3#p31505 for more details.

Hi,

I did follow the guide and searched the forum but no one have the error that i am having

the exact output is:


Request to 192.168.1.21 ( 192.168.1.21 ) : 3261
-
control HAImage -GetDefaults:"" -deviceSectorSizeBytes:"512"
-
101 Failed: operation cannot be completed..


*** 192.168.1.21 is the main vsan appliance address

Can you please provide the script and the IP addresses?

I can see the script underwent some customizations. Please try commenting the bmpType fields.

Hi,

I commented the bmp fields but still getting the same error

The error is only when i am trying to make HA,
when i just creating single image from PowerShell its working on both nodes.

Thanks

Can you please take the script "as is" and fill in the gaps?
Please use the script I shared above as a reference.

Hi,

did that but i am getting the same error

Hi,

I even installed the VSAN from scratch and still got the same error message

When i search the logs i am getting those messages:

Hi,

It points to the path issues. Please share the script with me once again.

Please try the path without VSA Storage, try using \mnt\disk01.

Greetings. Thank you for your update and effort. We are looking into the service's functioning. As a workaround, you could downgrade to 13586.
